Tartarus 2000

Riff 1 intro:
The gates are shut - welcome to the new old hell.
The fall of gods - locked away in oblivious cells.
Little chambers deep inside your brain
Your mind always uneasy, you want to burst the frame.

Riff 2 intro:
To break free of the suffering conformity
To escape this worldwide calamity
Step into a state of tranquillity
A catharsis of blood to set you free

Som optakt i breaket:
From the misery of all eternity
Free from slavery I will be

Riff 1
To work the machine ever on, without seeing a beginning or end
Oh, death set me free from mental hell, let me see the sun again
Dark are the days in which I strive, there is no meaning to be drawn
A mountain to clime of pure nothingness, oh death will be my dawn

Riff 2
But frailness and fear - weakness of extent - bring me to a hold
This worn out soul of mine hasn't got the sparkle of glory and gold
Sisyphus looks me futile in the eyes and I see the vast wasteland
Of all the forgotten thoughts, visions, dreams and ideas of man

Riff 1
His struggle for nothing - should it give me inspiration or hope?
Whatever hope there is it is lost in scrap: fire metal and smoke.
And every time I reach out my hand to someone it rots away
'Cause whatever infested thing I touch infects me with decay

Riff 2
Dreams are what you spend; there is no place for irrational behaviour
Jesus is in iron, Athena trapped in oblivion - there is no saviour
The mechanical beast thunders on - this is the final hour
What your heart desire is an obstruction - progress will devour

Riff 3

Riff 4 (vent 4 gange)
Logic and rationalism: the proud children of effectiveness
The animal is killed as manchine moves on in callousness
It is not skeletons whom with I am dancing "the dance macabre"
Death is faceless; numbers and calculations, profit is the maker

Riff 5

Riff 6 (stille stykke) (vent 2 gange)
"Tell me, O muse, of the ingenious hero who travelled far and wide"
No travels are made in this life worthy of honour and pride

Riff 6B

Riff 1
Tantalos stands forever longing and reach hopeless above and below
Love is my water, apples my dreams, gone in the wind like startled crows.
And where are they heading, as they disappear, up in the sky there is nothing
What do I see, do I see what I want; do I wear one clothing?

Riff 7 (vent 4 gange)
"To die, to sleep": to be liberated
from the living-day-hell on earth
I will go to a state of nothingness,
as the ignorant sleep before the birth

Riff 8
